Don't know if this has been mentioned before (did some searching) according to Nielsen rating, Dead is Dead had around 8.5 million viewers, the lowest count for an episode of Lost ever. In fact, if the data is correct, Lost has been under 10 million viewers for several episodes now, a rare occurrence for the show, as it's usually around 12 mil.

Ben episodes usually do better than most.

Why is this? Are more people watching it online than ever before? Or is the show shedding its less "hardcore" audience as we get down to the final episodes?

More importantly, does any of this matter?

People with IQ's of room temperature or less might be watching American Idol instead, but I doubt they were ever watching LOST.

Discuss.

A lot of folks I know gave up on the show. But I'm sure they will still watch it by seasons end or via DVD.

From what I heard, ABC really doesn't care about the ratings because its done next season.

But for reals, why in the fukk are people still watching American Idol?

So was the "Claire and her baby getting into a helicopter" storyline dropped?

This is what Desmond said would happen if Charlie turned off the jamming equipment and drowned. Charlie did this, but Claire never made if off the island. Then some of you say, Desmond mistaked Claire for Kate. First off all, how can you mistake a blonde and a brunette? And according to the line "Claire and her baby getting into a helicopter. A helicopter that lifts off--leaves this Island. " This never happens with Kate and Aaron anyways. Aaron went with Sun on the zodiac raft to the freighter. So will this ever be addressed? My theory is that, Desmond experienced himself reuniting with Penny, so he lied about Claire and Aaron getting into the helicopter. Then that doesn't seem like the Desmond we know though, but he did let Charlie almost die in Catch-22 because he thought the woman who parachuted on the island was Penny.

We wont know any answers about Claire and Aaron storyline until next season dammit cuz of the actress not being under contract for this season.

Also Im watching the Constant episode right now on Sci Fi (best thing the channel is good for is Lost re runs) and its f**king amazing the way they do the traveling back and forth between consciousness and how Faraday is a genius cant wait til next week for his episode he always gives the best explanation of the island.

1. No proof of who Henry Gale was, or was working for.
2. No proof of who placed the fake 815. Just because each faction a.ssumes the other did it doesn't make either of them right.
3. No proof that Christian takes orders from Jacob.
4. No reason WHY Jacob was asking Locke for help.

1. The producers said that Henry Gale was unimportant and done with in the storyline
2. The past episode confirmed that Widmore placed the fake 815
3. True, I don't think he takes "orders" from Jacob
4. My theory on this goes back to the chick Faraday left laying in the hospital bed. The woman told Desmond that she comes in and out of consciousness, sort of like how Desmond did during The Constant. My guess is she is somewhat "trapped" in time. This is what I think Jacob is, trapped between timelines, explaining why he asked Locke for help.

Lost Theory: The New Group Who Asks "Do You Know What Lies in the Shadow of the Statue?" is run by Eloise "Ellie" Hawking

Eloise Hawking is a mysterious British chick that is "special". A "special person" is one of those people on Lost that has insight into the inner workings of the major plot. She is also mother to Daniel Faraday

Ellie and Eloise are the same person and I'll now refer to her as Ellie.

Ellie plays a major role in the show. She was able to communicate with Desmond in his past (in London) much how her son Faraday communicated with Desmond in his past (while Desmond was punching the numbers in the jungle for a living). Probably the result of being exposed to a high amount of radioactive material.

There is also this mysterious group who shot Sayid in the hospital. If you remember, the black guy pretended to be a medic had Kate's address in his pocket. This group seems to not be Widmore's group because they tried to convince Miles otherwise. Speaking of Widmore, he happened to have Daniel Faraday's mother's phone number on hand at the office. But back to this mysterious group, they could be working with Ben. There was a scene at the beach where Illyana seemed to be on the same page as Ben.

So Ben and Illyana might really be working for Ellie or use Ellie's advice like how Neo used the Oracle.

link f**kface?

before you go looking for the link, just know that i was the first person to type that ellie and eloise were the same person in this thread. i am expanding on my theory by incorporating other theories.

so if you are trying to belittle me by congratulating me on "finding old news" that i came up with in first place, you can go k!ll yourself. slowly.

Listen here dumbass, just go back a few pages in this thread and you'll see where a few people were saying they were the same person. You're not the first person.
